In a recent article I examined Executive Software’s Diskeeper Windows disk defragmentation software. Diskeeper is one of many solid offerings available in the marketplace, and all do a yeoman’s job at the task of reducing disk fragmentation. However I thought Diskeeper’s administrative features a bit of an afterthought.

In fact, what really differentiates defragmentation products is not their performance at defragmentation (even though some claim unrealistic performance gains), but rather their ease of use, pricing, and administrative features.

In this month’s Technical Report we’re taking a look at Winternal’s Defrag Manager 3.0. Although one of many products available for this task, defrag manager offers some unique features, and can realistically simplify the workday of admins faced with the dull but vital task of disk defragmentation.
